Add your thoughts here and also add to the KWL notes above, where appropriate.
I had not considered the difference of similarity between game based learning and gamification. I like the quote regarding the difference being addition of a point system for learning. I guess it is elements like this that make it a game. Although my students can still be having fun while learning, what I have been doing is probably not considered game based learning. There are elements to game based learning that is different to just having fun while learning.
